Late/Early Post

Sorry for not getting this up yesterday. Cody had commandeered my laptop to play Webkinz. Yesterday was good and kinda bad. Good in the sense that it was the easiest day Cody has had while on 3f8. It was kinda bad because other than a slightly elevated heart rate at times Cody seemed to have very little pain. By now you all know what that could mean. They did use Morphine on him yesterday instead of Dilaudid. Dilaudid is supposed to be many times stronger than Morphine and fewer side effects like itching. He seemed to do much better but that was with no rescues. It is very hard to try and control his pain and at the same time try and minimize his rage and anger issues. We shall see today.

It seems almost bad to hope that Cody has pain. I know in the back of your mind that are thinking he is going to HAMA but perhaps it was just a one day thing. Think positive! We will too.We got the Christmas Cards the other day and we are glad we went with the matte finish. They look great. Well, I will hold it down for you here. Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.D

Where are you from?

Wow, we are over 100,000 hits!!!!! Welcome!

About Me

I grew up, ah, got older in Ford City Pa. A small town 45 minutes up the Allegheny River from Pittsburgh. Growing up a true 70's child I really thought that the Steelers were suppose to win the Super Bowl every year. :D Being the free spirit that I am I couldn't wait to get out on my own, so I joined the Navy. I flew out to the Philippines and met my boat the USS John Paul Jones DDG32. From there we sailed back to the states and spent most of the rest of my tour between San Diego and Long Beach. Since getting out I married twice, had 6 children and lived in Groton CT, Pensacola FL, Germantown MD and now in Northern VA. I've been married to my wife Diane for 10 years now and have three energetic and loving children. My life reads like a fiction novel in many ways. Many ups and downs but I feel blessed to have this life. To some it may seem boring but it's all mine.. :D
